Kiln 4

[Big J]

Got my fourth kiln load done on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Hired in a very skilled (and very local) Woodmizer operator and a bunch of lackies for the loading!

 

A nice mix of beech, ash, epic cherry and oak, including some quite odd, but very attractive flamed oak.

 

Here are some pictures:

Hi Lee,

 

I'm away from home until this afternoon, but will get the photos then.

Excellent. I often have dreams of a whack of logs like that. All lined up and of course no nails.:drool:

 

How long did it take the Woodmizer to mill them all?

[Big J]

Hehe! We hit one or two bits of metal work, but they were all either .22 rounds or shotgun pellets. Didn't lose any blades.

 

The woodmizer milled all the logs you can see there, plus another 3, in a day and a half. Approximately 330 cubic foot, which included a bit of oak cladding and some posts.

Dear all,

Well, you will see that Big J spent most of the day taking photos and NOT DOING ANYTHING - AGAIN. He is currently sitting in the woods in his pimped truck with an ipad because he's too tired to cut from loading the kiln! RSI from pressing buttons all day...don't figure. :001_tt2:

Yours sincerely

One of J's friendly lackie's...

 

PS OK I'm sat on my couch so perhaps should say nothing!

Armchairarborist, the treatment used is Wykabor:

 

Wykabor Powder / Wykabor Range / Timber Treatments / Services / Wykamol Group / Specialist products for the building and preservation industries.

 

It's a very economical way to prevent almost all mould. Costs me about £25 per kiln load plus the labour for spraying.

 

Iain - you of all people should know about delegation of work!
